Human nutrition expert and author of the critically
acclaimed What to Eat,Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., has
joined forces with Malden C. Nesheim, Ph.D., a Cornell
animal nutrition expert, to write Feed Your Pet Right,the
first complete, research-based guide to selecting the best,
most healthful foods for your cat or dog. A comprehensive
and objective look at the science behind pet food, it tells
a fascinating story while evaluating the range of products
available and examining the booming pet food industry and
its marketing practices. Drs. Nestle and Nesheim also
present the results of their unique research into this
sometimes secretive industry. Through conversations with pet
food manufacturers and firsthand observations, they reveal
how some companies have refused to answer questions or
permit visits. The authors also analyze food products, basic
ingredients, sources of ingredients, and the optimal ways to
feed companion animals. In this engaging narrative, they
explain how ethical considerations affect pet food research
and product development, how pet foods are regulated, and
how companies influence veterinary training and advice. They
conclude with specific recommendations for pet owners, the
pet food industry, and regulators. A road map to the most
nutritious diets for cats and dogs,Feed Your Pet Right is
sure to be a reference classic to which all pet owners will
turn for years to come.
